Energetic and active in his eighties, John McLeod continues to enjoy a resurgence heralded - among a flurry of commissions and premieres - by Red Note Ensemble s 2015 Delphian album of his chamber music. Its distinctive color and drama are equally evident in the orchestral works brought together here, three of them under the composer s own baton. Written forty years apart, The Shostakovich Connection and Out of the Silence pay homage to the Russian master s Fifth Symphony and to the maverick

The Austrian composer Walter Bricht (1904-70) was one of many musicians of Jewish ancestry who fled Vienna after the Anschluss for the safety of the USA; Bricht became a valued professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. Fittingly, it is the nearby Fort Wayne Philharmonic, in its own debut recording, that has made the first album of Brichts music. The recording reveals another major Viennese voice and points to yet another potentially important career cut off in the bud by the Nazis. Bricht

The musical language of the New York-based Arnold Rosner (1945-2013) clothes the modal harmony and rhythm of pre-Baroque polyphony in rich Romantic colours, producing a style that is instantly recognizable and immediately appealing. This second Toccata Classics album of his orchestral music contrasts the high-spirited Unraveling Dances - a rhapsody with more than a nod to Ravel's Bolero - with the powerful symphonic suite Five Ko-ans for Orchestra and Rosner's dramatic, dark, hieratic setting

Borodin s Symphony No. 1, epic in scope and Russian by nature, bears the genuinesymphonism of the development of the major thematic grain. It took a long time for him towrite Symphony No. 2, whose premiere performance took place in 1877. He began to work onthe Third Symphony in Winter 1883, and the work continued up to the end of his life. He oftenplayed music of the Symphony for his friends, but he didn t write it down and unfortunatelyit remained unfinished. Now we can listen to it, thanks to

Very few conductors have recorded as much Bach as Karl Richter and none can lay a stronger claim to a legacy based on championing the master. Richter's reverence for Bach is evinced by the simplicity, splendor, and grandeur with which he consistently imbued his performances exemplified here by these landmark recordings of the Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites. In Archiv's original-image bit-processing remastered transfers as well, the sound is better than ever. This is cornerstone

In his final year as BBC Philharmonics Chief Conductor, Juanjo Mena completes a highly-acclaimed Ginastera series with this third volume. Like in his previous series La Musica de Espana, Mena brings the composers creative genius to a more deserved fame, showcasing here three works that belonged to three different periods of his compositional life. While the Concierto Argentino is the most significant score of his early years, drawing directly on Argentinian folk music and full of youthful

Finding the names of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven on the track list of a CD or on the title page of a concert program provokes a sense of familiarity and natural affiliation in the minds of most music lovers and experts, who not only associate the three composers with each other but also, inevitably, with the concept of Viennese Classicism. On this recording, Ola Rudner and the Wurttembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, flanked by soloists Ramon Ortega Quero (oboe), Sebastian Manz (clarinet),
